Kyiv is under a massive Russian ballistic missile and drone attack.

This is what it sounds like sitting in your hallway listening to them explode, as the walls shake.

I know it's a high bar these days but this is fucking astonishing.

The centre of Dnipro this evening.

Zelensky becomes the first world leader to stand up to Trump 2.0, your turn Europe.

Anyhoos, the guys that Marco Rubio is “convinced” are interested in peace are currently attacking half of Ukraine with kamikaze drones.

Lots of explosions here is Kyiv from air defences.
